About Shanta
Dr. Shanta Jerideau is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and parenting. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations that focus on what is happening now. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address patterns of feeling and reacting. That can mean naming difficult emotions, noticing how they affect behavior, and trying new responses in small steps.
Her approach also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns. Work in sessions often involves exploring how people connect, where they feel stuck, and what changes feel tolerable. Practical skills from CBT and ACT are used to manage symptoms like anxiety and low mood.
Dr. Jerideau aims to adapt conversations and plans to what a person needs at the time. Expect clear explanations of methods and short exercises to practice between sessions. She frames progress as steady adjustments rather than sudden fixes.
For someone juggling family demands, parenting, or work stress, she focuses on manageable steps that fit into daily life. To begin, follow the site’s process for matching and scheduling a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and attachment patterns that shape how people relate. It can help when strong feelings and repeating interaction habits make relationships or daily life feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify personal values, and take committed actions that match those values.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Jerideau will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She discusses options, tests what helps early on, and adjusts plans as needed so the work aligns with what the client wants to change.
The profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help people fit sessions around work, school, or family demands. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or choices about whether to use video or audio depending on what feels manageable. Licensed professionals use these options to keep therapy practical and relevant to everyday life.
